Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I think BHW is alot better then it was when I use to lurk on here back in the old days then I signed up in 06. Saw a few bb's get riped a new one more then a few times on here and one that got picked on the most and it got ugly at times, well shes gone now but not forgotton  . But I think in the last few years its gotton quite calm on here. I have learned so much here and getting all the new BB's in the last few years has been quite fun to hang out with, I have gotton annoy myself at times on here but thats how the ball rolls when your on a public fourm. But its been fun and I really enjoy this place, Thank you Gail and Dave for giving us a place to chit chat.  |

It is good to see that a few don't have "selective" memories.....LOL ......  |

I am your favorite rash and you know it
Location: Being pushed over the edge, NM | Trolled 2004, joined 2005. I was marooned on a far away planet called "Maine," where the frozen tundra and mud was relentless. Met some cool lady online named Diane who answered my questions and agreed to teach me to barrel race, from the internet. Escaped the frozen planet and returned home to NM, still kept upwith my new buddy. Two NBHA world finals qualifications, won 3 saddles, 5 buckles, I'd say she knew what she was doing ;)
And ol' Smeagol, er, Gollum, er, Mary/okhorselover, always good to see it pop back up during a full moon to feed on souls, or whatever

| I am not an original, but joined back in 2010, so six years ago, which is right around the time I actually got into barrel racing. I really truly have learned so much from this board! To start, I learned who Ed Wright was and went to a clinic, and then went on to host a clinic, I read all about Perks Alive and ended up getting me a Perks Alive gelding! I learned all about quality saddles and now my husband has a Caldwell and I have a Martin. We both love them!! I could go on and on....magnetic therapy (PHT keeps my body sore horse happy) Renew Gold, up and coming stallions, magic crosses, training tips....etc. etc.
Not to mention I have enjoyed the Christmas Gift Exchange. I have also met a lot of very kind people! I met Murphy who leased a mare of mine to breed for several years. I was a pen pal with Della and love keeping up with her on FB, Jake16 offered to cover a vet bill for me one time, LRQHS sent me some amazing Christmas gifts that I absolutly adore!! Plus I use the bell boots she sent me pretty much daily...and I still laugh about the VooDoo doll I have sitting on my table.....I love following CountryGrl and Vinny.....plus she tags me in adorable teacher stuff all the time! Fatchance was always up to giving me ideas on what to do to help my horse turn a first barrel. :-) And Hungarian Midget Woman (I forget your offical board name barrelracer131 I think?) I do hope to meet you one of these days since we are not too far away from one another....maybe at a future horse show!!! Three4luck....your posts always make me smile...I have to say I love your humor, haha!
One of our members was going through a difficult time and was contemplating suicide....we talked for several hours on the phone and I am so thankful that she did NOT go through with it......
So many amazing things.......and it is those amazing things we need to remember and keep in the back of our minds. (Also can't forget the Tacky Tack group that we all love and adore and was my riveting entertainment one spring break).
I do not post much anymore, but not because of "drama" per say. I had a lot of personal stuff happen last year and it just got to the point where I hated social media in general and just have tried to make it a point to unplug, instead of being so tied up on a computer or phone.
At the end of the day social media is just that....it is a place where everyone shares their thoughts and feelings whether it be FB or here or Twitter.....and it is truly what we make it. In every situation you can always find something bad or negative to say. But you can also always find the good....and I have to say that in the 6 years I have been on here between being an active poster and now more of a lurker I would say the good/positive totally outweighs the negative.

Location: In a happy place | Joined in 2006 and just lurked for a year or longer before I joined. I lurked because there was a young lady that riding one of my horses with intentions of buying him and he got killed in an accident at a barrel race. I was pretty thin skinned about the whole deal and was afraid I couldn't hang if someone got ugly. This place has been so much fun for me and I love coming on here...back then and now too. I have made some wonderful friends (I guess I do have one enemy here as I guess she got mad at me on Facebook) and have gotten so much good information. I could not possibly have gotten through my BC diagnosis, treatments and the divorce without the support of you all on here. For all of you I am eternally grateful. Each of you helped me live through it all. And I am so thankful for each and everyone of you.  |

Location: Silver Lake, MN | I joined in 2005...I don't post much and never really have cause I didn't want to look stupid. LOL. But i learned a lot on this site and met my bestie Herbie on this site so I will be forever grateful. I still enjoy reading some posts, but I don't like drama so it's few and far between. I've bought and sold some horses on here and met great people that way as well.
I think the thread that sticks in my mind most was the Bug thread between Gail and Emmylou I think it was? I can't remember exactly but it cracked me up about shipping the bug. LOL |

Location: Deep South | I officially joined the BHW club in 2012, but have been lurking since my 8th grade year (2005-2006). I wasn't raised in a rodeo savvy family. We just jumped in when I was 7 and learned as we went. I came here every day to soak up every bit of knowledge I could. I still do. :)
This site has helped me solve several mysteries when I've had problems with my own horses, and I know for sure it's prevented what could have been a lot of damage. Without BHW I would be in the dark about so many issues. |

hoofs_in_motion - 2016-06-14 11:48 AM Just Plain Lucky - 2016-06-14 11:08 AM Apparently, I joined in 2008. So, I haven't been a member since the beginning. However, I've been lurking since pretty much the beginning. I had my start on Horse City shortly after the migration. We were not allowed to even mention BHW over there for a while after. Threads would be locked/removed, members banned. Crazy. I've noticed a trend here, as others have. I haven't been posting or even checking in like I used to. ETA: Wow, after a second look at my join date I realize that today marks my 8th year here, exactly. Holy cow why was that?
You and runstraithome if I remember right, LOL!!! Troublemakers ;-)
